plastic fasteners for light support tubes snapped in half causing light to fall on top of watered plants killing them and caused small fire.

same thing happened to me. Currently on 2 of the 4 cross poles. Duct taped the hell out of them to make sure I don't burn down the house.

Same thing happened to us. we used some wire and strung it from the supports at the corners for more strength and hung the lights between them. been that way for a long time with no problems.

Had the same problem, both mine broke, chopped my plants in half and busted my lights and started a small fire. I contacted seller and amazon, they don't care..

DO NOT BUY THIS SET!! Please read the #1 reviews. Most of the good reviews were posted by people who had not used the set yet. They just loved the price and looks of it. I bought this set and one light caught on fire just after being tested. My other light went down within a couple of weeks. Hardly used them. They were recommended to me by my friend, who hadn't used her much. Then her lights went out after minimal use. One review said his light nearly burned his studio down. I wouldn't want you to have a disaster. These lights are dangerous. I did my research the second time around, read the bad reviews and bought a better set. I have had NO PROBLEMS since. I hope all goes well for you. Sincerely, Robin Palmer of the Whimsical Studio

My experience: The bulb melted at the place where the glass joins the base. It sparked, smoked, and shot out flames. A fire hazard. They are very poorly made bulbs.

I am no expert, but that doesn't sound good at all. For me, sparks could cause fires. Have it seen to.

I took a 1/4" pipe bend it secured it to the back of the stand and black taped the pipe. Suspended the lights using a S huck.

be careful. If you put too many in, they will catch fire on the metal threads.

I returned this light actually. It gets very hot quickly, enough to melt the plastic because the build quality is poor. Also the light is hard undiffused but not bright enough if you try and defuse it. I personally can't recommend this item for any kind of use.

I'm thinking the regular bulbs will get hot enough to burst if they are powered on and it rains. I'm using LED bulbs in mine and they are under the eaves.

They are made of metal and easily to break during installation. The half were the screw tightens up on the rail cracked making it useless.

My lights worked fine with the solar panel facing south. However, the tiny wires inside just didn't last. Heartbreaking.

The metal fasteners are not safe for birds because they contain zinc. Please buy stainless snap hook carabiners. Amazon and hardware stores carry them.

I answered before. Let me expand on my "no". I gave my plants water and air, and kept them in indirect light. Both died; can't understand why.

Mine fell in some high winds and broke, but as I remember, changing colors had something to do with the way you positioned the switch.

I know this is a year late, but just wanted to let anyone know who is looking at this. I have been using these bulbs for roughly 2.5 years. Recently I noticed that my alignment was off and went in to adjust it. When I went in, I noticed that the bulb was loose. The bottom metal bracket was bent and the plastic on the car's wire connectors to the headlight had melted. When I installed the light, I know everything was snug so all I can imagine is that the bulb heated the metal bracket to a point that allowed for it to bend itself back out. Also part of the reflector was charred and ashed.

There may be an improper ground or a back feed in the hook up of the lights.

I purchased this one and installed in a 5D Maglite by mistake. It ended up burning out and destroying the flashlight. Plastic in the head of the flashlight was shattered, bulb unit appears to be fused to the flashlight with black residue coming out of it. The smell was horrible, likely due to the burning plastic. Surprised there isn't a more prominent warning about this. Or maybe there was and I missed it.

my guess is that this material is somewhat flammable so probably not the safest thing to have around on lights.
